Il Bastardo: A Review of Every Jilted Woman’s Favorite Wine

This fantastic Italian wine was bottled in the year 2002, which is revered for two special events: (1) the birth of Gorgeous and Sassy and (2) the Great Breakup Season. Boy, was that a rough one. Was there a full moon? No, actually, Venus was in retrograde.

“Mmmmmm. My, does Il Bastardo soothe the painful memories!” Shakira says.

And so it begins: as the girls visit El Bastardo, so do they revisit 2002. There was a lot of drinking done that year. A lot of menz sought after that year. A lot of menz sought after the girls that year.

“We came, we saw, we conquered!” Gigi raises her glass high.

Oh, by the way – Il Bastardo is a sangiovese from Tuscany. The label features a fat bastard, which seems appropriate, considering many x-boys tub right up after breaking up with a G&S girl. Get a grip, dude – go to the gym!

Il Bastardo prompts a new game for the G&S girls. Following: one nice thing and one not-so-nice thing about each x-boy:

x-boy Nice Thing Not-So-Nice Thing
Nurse Egon    
Vile Niles    

“I’m stuck,” Shakira says. “A nice thing? Hmmm. He was boring…but he was really good at being boring!”

“Vile Niles’s mom was really cool.”

“But that’s not really HIM. That’s his mom.”

“Damn. Let’s drink to her.”

“Agreed.”

“A toast to all the x-boys I’ve loved before. Dead to me.”
